Public bug reported: Binary package hint: acroread
I added a launchpad repository containing acroread to my sources.list - and apt-get upgrade broke my dpkg when it downloaded acroread_9.4.1-1lucid1_amd64.deb and tried to install it. I had been using that repository for a while, all earlier versions of acroread worked fine. This one just made dpkg crash so that I had to kill -9 it. Now every time I run dpkg - from apt-get, from aptitude, or directly - it just freezes and turns zombie until I kill it. This is what I got (I tend to activate root login under Ubuntu, since I like doing some serious admin work on the console): r...@aphrodite:~# dpkg -i acroread_9.4.1-1lucid1_amd64.deb (Lese Datenbank ... 632800 Dateien und Verzeichnisse sind derzeit installiert.) Vorbereiten zum Ersetzen von acroread 9.4-1lucid1 (durch acroread_9.4.1-1lucid1_amd64.deb) ... No LSB modules are available. nspluginwrapper: /usr/lib/nspluginwrapper/plugins/npwrapper.nppdf.so is not a valid nspluginwrapper plugin Killed As you can see, I'm German. But the interesting messages are in English. ** Affects: acroread (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/692354 Title: acroread_9.4.1-1lucid1_amd64.deb package breaks dpkg, refuses to install or purge -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
